Can anyone assist me with this question?

Sometimes I see triplets that have green tabs on each of the spikes- what is the meaning of the green tab? I know test signals are sometimes implanted into the data to test the software- is that what the green tabs designate? If not, then what is their significance?

Thanks in advance for clarifying.

So, I wonder when we will begin receiving work units indicating that (instead of having been collected at Arecibo) they were collected at the ATA?

"In October 2004, I had a workunit under Seti@Home 3.08 that produced a strong line a little to the left of the middle of the scale. The workunit may have run for 5 seconds and then exited."

I got one of those, too, and I happened to be lucky enough to be watching the screen at the time. It looked as though a razor thin wall had appeared down the middle of the screen, standing well above the rest of the background. The data set ran a couple of times, then promptly forwarded itself to "100% complete" and returned the result. What I saw was definitely a radio signal- but one of the RFI type, I'm afraid, not the ET type.

That said, has anyone else noticed that the redistributed work units being sent out currently look like a "Best of SETI" collection? Awesome spikes on many, and on one I saw a triplet that was three exactly even pulses, evenly spaced, and so strong the graphic changed from red to green at the top of the pulses. It was very exciting. Heck, it was good enough to convince me it was an alien signal!(... but I was pre-convinced anyway) Good thing I'm not a scientist;-)
